Douluo Continent: So What If I Reincarnate as Ning Rongrong?

Chapter 26 The Gathering of All Parties

"I only brought three items," Ning Fengzhicheng said after a moment's thought. "Rongrong, you seem quite wary of Xue Qinghe, so I don't know which one to choose."

Over the past few years, we have collected a large number of medicinal materials and conducted numerous experiments to confirm the edibility and medicinal properties of certain medicinal materials.

Although it has almost no effect on Soul Douluo and Title Douluo.

However, for Soul Masters with relatively low Soul Power, it can increase their cultivation speed or improve their physique, etc.

It doesn't reach the effects of the elixir Ning Rongrong mentioned, but it's much better than ordinary herbs.

Ning Fengzhi took out three jade boxes and placed them on the table.

"Dragon fruit, white ginseng, clover."

Looking at the information on the business card on the jade box with its flamboyant calligraphy, Ning Rongrong murmured to herself.

Dragon fruit is a special spiritual fruit covered in sharp thorns, with purplish-red flesh and densely packed seeds.

It can improve one's physical condition after consumption and has special effects on fire-attribute martial souls.

White Spirit Ginseng is an unconventional type of ginseng. It is highly poisonous if it is less than a hundred years old, but can be consumed after a hundred years. It can increase the cultivation speed of a Soul Master. However, it is toxic and should not be taken for a long time.

Clover, a special plant with three leaves, grows around blue silver grass and is said to have beautifying effects when consumed.

Ning Rongrong was naturally familiar with the collected spiritual herbs. She could use the properties of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and her true energy to detect the general characteristics and medicinal properties of the herbs.

Then, it is handed over to a specialist in elixirs to confirm its true effects.

Both the medicine warehouse and the spirit herb garden contain a considerable number of spirit herbs that can improve the physique of a Soul Master.

However, the effects of these elixirs were not obvious.

Even if a Soul Master takes it, it's difficult for them to detect subtle changes.

Its effects are slow, unlike the immediate effects of the herb.

Unless you know the effects of the medicinal herbs beforehand and cultivate accordingly, you cannot clearly perceive their influence on you.

For example, dragon fruit, if an ordinary soul master or ordinary person eats it, they may not be able to discover its special characteristics.

If Ning Rongrong hadn't discovered it through the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's ability to appraise treasures...

It might be like any other fruit, though of course, dragon fruit is relatively rare and most people wouldn't recognize it even if they found it.

Because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School collects rare and exotic fruits, some Soul Masters would bring over and sell spiritual herbs they didn't understand, and dragon fruit was one of them.

"Dragon fruit, then!" Ning Rongrong said after a moment's thought. "This should suit her better."

"I thought Rongrong would choose the white ginseng as a gift." Ning Fengzhi's face showed a surprised expression.

Ning Rongrong shook her head: "White Spirit Ginseng has a certain degree of toxicity. If used medicinally, it is best to combine it with other medicinal herbs or elixirs that can remove toxins."

Because many medicinal herbs have one or more unique characteristics, Ning Rongrong thought of seeking out Dugu Bo to study alchemy.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary rogue cultivator. He had a relatively good understanding of medicinal herbs, but he was completely clueless when it came to alchemy.

At most, I know the process of combining ingredients, but I have absolutely no idea how they are made!

Dugu Bo should be interested.

"Rongrong, is choosing dragon fruit a good idea?" Bone Douluo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I remember Xue Qinghe's martial soul isn't fire-attribute, so if I eat it..."

"There won't be any problems. Even if you eat it like fruit, it can improve your health," Ning Rongrong replied.

Ning Rongrong categorized the medicinal herbs in this world into three types.

These are, respectively, common medicine, spiritual medicine, and elixir of immortality.

As the name suggests, common medicines are ordinary medicinal materials.

Elixirs possess certain unique properties and can only be consumed under specific conditions. For example, dragon fruit and white ginseng, if unripe, will produce various adverse effects.

Immortal herbs, in the original novel, are the immortal herbs that Tang San picked from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang region. Besides their own special properties, they can mostly affect the surrounding environment.

It usually requires special techniques to pick them, and the effects are immediate.

In a sense, such elixirs should not exist in nature at all.

While Ning Rongrong was discussing medicinal herbs with her father and Bone Douluo.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan returned to their residence.

"A soul bone from 30,000 years ago!" Dugu Bo sighed. "Ning Fengzhi is truly generous."

"Grandpa, is there a problem with this soul bone?"

Dugu Yan asked curiously, how could she not know how precious soul bones were, as Dugu Bo's granddaughter could not possibly be unaware of it, and could only sigh that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was so rich that they could give away soul bones for free.

"It's nothing." Dugu Bo touched the head of his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, whose height was only shoulder-length.

"Yanyan, we might really have to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. What about Yu Tianheng...?"

"Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore," Dugu Yan said earnestly.

"I know what to do. I only have a slight liking for Yu Tianheng, not to the point where I have to marry him."

"Besides, he approached me with a purpose."

"In short, I will make him give up all thoughts," Dugu Yan said.

"I'm sorry, Yan Yan."

"No, that's not true. I should thank Grandpa. It was you who taught me how major sects handle things."

I was too naive before.

Both Yu Tianheng and Ning Rongrong demonstrated remarkable maturity in handling matters.

She seemed like a child who hadn't grown up, completely unaware of her grandfather's situation.

……

The time finally came for the apprenticeship ceremony.

The ceremony was held in the reception hall of the Tiandou Imperial Palace.

It must be said that nobles really know how to enjoy life; it truly lives up to the saying, "Jade halls and golden horses."

At a glance, it is all the people's hard-earned money.

Uh, no, that's not right.

It should be a dazzling array of jewels and precious stones, exuding luxury.

Ning Rongrong stood next to Bone Douluo, not interested in trying to build relationships at the banquet. Besides, she was just a child; who would try to build relationships with her?

Especially with Bone Douluo's unfriendly expression, which practically screamed "Hurry up and finish your business, then leave," no one dared to provoke him.

However, that's not entirely true.

Two figures walked towards them; they were Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

The two of them seemed a bit furtive.

Dugu Bo walked to Bone Douluo's side and said in a low voice, "I've given away the things in the jade box."

Don't look at me.

Bone Douluo glanced to the side, declaring himself to be nothing more than a heartless guard.

Suddenly, Dugu Bo's emerald eyes turned to Ning Rongrong, who still had snacks in her mouth.

Ning Rongrong swallowed the food in her mouth, patted her chest as if she were choking, and said after calming herself down:

"Yes, Senior Dugu, you don't need to tell us!"

"Since Father gave you the jade box, it belongs to you. As for giving it to Prince Xuexing later, that is up to you."

"As expected..." Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance.

Just now, Dugu Bo said it was given to someone, but he didn't say who it was given to. But here he suddenly revealed the truth.

If what was just speculation before is now confirmed.

That 30,000-year-old soul bone was what made Dugu Bo repay a favor!

Of course, it seems that paying it back or not is fine.

"Sister Yan, there's no need to be so nervous!" Ning Rongrong grabbed Dugu Yan's hand, and Dugu Yan's fingers felt slightly cool.

"Um... I wasn't nervous."

Even though she was several years older than the little girl in front of her, she looked more like a child herself.
